What is authenticity? How do therapists both show up authentically while creating safe space for their clients to do the same? Can authenticity exist without self-disclosure? Should we be encouraging clients to be authentic in all spaces? These questions and more are explored in this episode with guest psychologist, Rachel Awes. Discover various ways of empowering clients to explore what it means to be authentically themselves.
Rachel Awes works as a psychologist, art playgroundist, and author, who loves listening to the beauty in people and animals and all living colorsâand she truly embodies color, as she is also an ambassador for the Swedish clothing company, Gudrun Sjoden. Her 4 published gift/self-help books are infused with loads of her colorful drawings, all designed to affirm the human heart. Her newest illustrated book The Relationship Book: A Soulful, Transformational, and Artistic Inventory of Your Connective Life is releasing end of year 2022. She lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with her husband and tortoises, complete with wild bunnies in her yard, and two dear sons (ages 23 and 26) living nearby. Her most tender and mighty hope is to hold up a mirror for many, reflecting a hearty truth of your boundless worth.Highlights
